Questions, answered
Will it publish listings without someone approving them first?
No — every listing is saved as a draft on AutoTrader and Cars.com. Your marketing team reviews, adds photos if needed, and publishes each one themselves.
What about vehicle photos — does it upload those too?
WebRun stages the spec data and written description. Photos need to be added by your team before publishing — this is intentional so a human checks the listing looks right.
Can it post to other portals like CarGurus or Facebook Marketplace?
Yes — add any listing platform you have dealer access to and WebRun will stage a draft there as well.
